I love Cargo blushes & bronzers, for 3 years now.  I think they are among the finest I have ever used.  In fact I prefer them to Nars in most cases (dependent upon color).  I find them to be super soft with little to no powder kicked up at all.  Such great blendable color payoff.  Just touch them/swatch them and you will feel the difference immediately.

I have met a number of artists who feel as I do yet, why is Cargo not bigger.....more widely used/accepted?  Am I missing something?

Is is marketing, packaging, curious what your thoughts are on this?


I have also tried their shadows, mascara, lipgloss and eyeliners.  All of which held up nicely to other big brands.  Now, for whatever reason I am not as diehard for these as I am on the above but still a damn fine product IMO.

I love Cargo eyeshadows, but sometimes when people find a product that works for them/brand.. they're all about it and nothing else. As am I about a few brands but to each their own.

One of my newest favorites from Cargo is their new ColorStick.  The texture is so dreamy.  I have the Key West color and it makes for a fantastic tonal/mono look when on eyes, lips & cheeks.  There is a good amount in the stick too, so I am super pleased with my purchase.  Not sure what colors to grab next.

Must prime lids well though or crease city.
